You won’t have to travel far to reach House Higgo, situated in the quiet surrounds of Northcliff.

Northcliff is older, less modernised and more tranquil than many of its neighbouring suburbs. It’s a quiet respite for stressed city-dwellers wanting to get away from it all.

With its spacious homes, wide, tree-lined streets that aren’t always congested with traffic and majestic cliff-hanging, it has a ‘stately’ feel about it which can help you feel like you’re far from Johannesburg.

The point of calls:

The Apartheid Museum: The museum gives visitors a real reflection of what it was like to live in a racially segregated society at the height of Apartheid - from 1948 until South Africa’s transition to democracy in 1994.

The Hector Pieterson Museum commemorates the role of school children in their protest against inferior education for non-whites, in particular, the Soweto Protests of 1976 where peaceful action was met with violent confrontation by the police.

Wandies Place: once a four-roomed, illegal shebeen where food and drink were sold unlicensed in the mid-1980’s. The now licensed restaurant/tavern is a popular hangout for the locals. Wandies serve mainly traditional fare such as umngqusho (a seasoned corn and bean stew), morogo (wild spinach) and chakalaka (a simple, spicy dish of onions, tomatoes, and beans).
